Cultural Marxism - now known as wokeness - is a favorite scapegoat of the far right as it is much easier to blame one group of people for something as opposed to analyzing why it is wrong to begin with. Why provide actual solutions when you can just enact TND on whatever group you hate the most? And even if said group gets wiped off the earth, they will only find new people to scapegoat until they can no longer find someone to hate but themselves.

As Yoda once said “Fear leads to anger, anger to hate and hate to suffering”, Cultural Marxism and other forms of reactionary belief all stem from fear uncertainty and doubt. The anti woke mob is so blinded by their fear driven hatred they can’t even see who their enemy is or what the solution is.

This is why Gamergate failed to achieve any meaningful progress as any time that could’ve been used to fight corporate corruption in gaming and discuss ethics in game journalism - the SUPPOSED aims of Gamergate - was wasted on reactionary grifting, spreading hate and harassment campaigns on innocent people.

Author’s note:

i was originally supposed to put this in Capitalism in Decay but it was locked for mods only after the spamming incident so I decided to put it here.
